"I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver." - Maya Angelou

How it works

Benefits

1. You can escape both income and estate tax levied on the residual left in your retirement account by leaving it to the Friends of St. John's Hospital Foundation. 2. You can continue to take withdrawals during your lifetime. 3. You can change your beneficiary if your circumstances change. 4. You can elect to leave retirement plan assets to the foundation through your will or revocable trust instead. 5.
